I need to store something for the duration of a session and refer to it 
through out the life of the session. Essentially, I have to store the 
state of whether the user saw something or not in two different places 
in the app.  Once in the PMS component and once on the index page.

I need to show an intermediate page the each time someone hits the site 
after they have logged in and before they see the home page.  But only 
once per session. If you are not logged in you are redirected to a 
landing page with a login form.

I also need to do the same sort of thing the first time they get to the 
PMS component.  But only once per session.  I want an easy way to store 
and expire the state of whether they have seen the intermediate pages or 
not.
